WorldatWork and Vivient ConsultingIncentive Pay Practices Survey: Non-Profit/Government Organizations

1

METHODOLOGY In October 2013, Vivient and WorldatWork invited a sample of WorldatWork members working in non-publicly-traded organizations to answer an online survey about their companies’ incentive-pay practices. More than 175 participants from non-profit and government organizations responded to the survey, as did 190 participants from private, for-profit companies. Because of the large response from the sectors surveyed, 2 separate reports have been published: this report, “Incentive Pay Practices Survey: Non-Profit/Government Organizations,” and “Incentive Pay Practices Survey: Privately Held Companies.” A similar survey also was conducted by Deloitte Consulting and WorldatWork to examine the incentive pay practices at publicly-traded companies, resulting in a third report, “Incentive Pay Practices Survey: Publicly Traded Companies.” All 3 reports are available on the WorldatWork website. This report provides a high-level summary of the survey results. For detailed results, including the sample size by question, please see the Detailed Survey Results section beginning on page 8.

OVERVIEW U.S. non-profit and government organizations continue to use short-term cash incentives to motivate and reward employees, and to compete for talent, according to the 2013 Vivient Consulting and WorldatWork survey, “Incentive Pay Practices Survey: Privately Held Companies.” The survey of private companies was conducted previously in 2007 and then again in 2011. In 2013, the number of non-profit and government organization responses to the survey grew tremendously over time. In 2013, more than 175, up from more than 80 in 2011. This indicates interest among non-profit and government organizations are keenly interested in incentive-compensation practices and competitive data. As a result of the 2013 response size from non-profit and government organizations, a special report was created for these organizations. In 2013, 78% of non-profit and government organizations reported using short-term incentives (STIs), while 16% reported using long-term incentives (LTIs). (See questions 1 on page 8 and 24 on page 15).

Non-profits are more likely to use STIs than government organizations, but the practice is prevalent across both organizational types. LTIs are used sparingly at non-profits and were reported by only one government respondent.

(See questions 1a on page 8 and 24a on page 15).

Of the non-profit and government respondents, 76% are non-profits, such as charitable and education organizations. The remaining 24% of respondents are public-sector organizations, such as state, local and federal government entities. The most common industries represented in the survey are health care and social assistance (46%); educational services (14%); and public administration (10%). (See question 36 on page 18.) The size of non-profit and government organizations responding to the survey tends to be large. Of the respondents, 88% have more than 1,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees. Organizational budgets range from more than $5 billion to less than $100 million. More than 60% of the respondents report budgets of more than $1 billion. (See question 38 on page 19.) For the first time this year, private-company, non-profit and government incentive-pay practices can be compared directly to public-company counterparts. WorldatWork and Deloitte Consulting launched an incentive-pay practices survey for publicly traded companies at the same time as the private/non-profit/government survey. Vivient and Deloitte used several identical questions so that results can be compared across organizational types.

SHORT-TERM INCENTIVES Non-profit and government organizations favor simplicity by operating a limited number of STI plans. Of the respondents, 68% report having three or fewer STI plans in place. While simplicity is favored, 32% of respondents operate four or more plans, with some organizations reporting 16 or more STI plans. (See question 2 on page 8.)

For 2013, participants were asked whether they had any of the following eight types of STI plans: Annual Incentive Plan: A pay plan that is designed to reward the accomplishment of specific results. Rewards usually are tied to expected results identified at the beginning of the performance cycle. In contrast to bonuses, they are not primarily discretionary but may have a discretionary component. Discretionary Bonus Plan: A plan in which management determines the size of the bonus pool and the amounts to be allocated to specific individuals after a performance period. These have no predetermined formula or promises, and are not guaranteed.

Spot Awards: Spot awards recognize special contributions as they occur for a specific project or task. The project or task generally is accomplished in a short time period. Profit-Sharing Plan: A plan providing for employee participation in the profits of an organization. The plan normally includes a predetermined and defined formula for allocating profit shares among participants, and for distributing funds accumulated under the plan. However, some plans are discretionary. Gain-Sharing Plans: Any one of a number of incentive programs designed to share the results of productivity gains with employees as a group. Team/Small-Group Incentives: Any incentive program that focuses on the performance of a small group, usually a work team. These incentive programs often are used when measurable output is the result of group effort and individual contributions are difficult to separate from group effort. Retention Bonus: A payment or reward outside of an employee's regular salary that is offered as an incentive to keep a key employee on the job during a particularly crucial business cycle. Project Bonus: A form of additional compensation paid to an employee or department as a reward for successfully completing a specific project within a certain timeframe.

Number of STI Plans at Organizations with an STI Plan

WorldatWork and Vivient ConsultingIncentive Pay Practices Survey: Non-Profit/Government Organizations

4

By far, the most common type of STI plan at non-profit and government organizations is an annual incentive plan (AIP). (See question 3 on page 8.)

More than one-third of respondents indicated that their organizations are planning to add or modify a short-term incentive plan in 2013. The most common reasons for an added or modified STI plan are to support a change in strategy (45%) and to align programs with market practices (35%). One in four respondents selected “other” as the reason for the STI addition or modification. “Other” responses provided include the political climate, need to improve employee engagement, a key technology project, organization impact of new health-care law, competition for talent, expansion of a current STI program, and to drive a metrics-based approach to rewards. Respondents provided their organizations’ approximate budgets for STIs as a percentage of operating budget for 2012 and projected budgets as a percentage of operating budget for 2013. Non-profits and government organizations report modest STI budgets. (See question 5 on page 9.)

Annual Incentive Plans The most prevalent STI plan at non-profit and government organizations, AIPs generally are available to employees at the exempt salaried level and above. (See question 7 on page 10.)

The respondents with AIPs in place report on the primary objectives of their plans. The most common objectives among respondents at organizations with AIPs in place are to:

1. Align employees’ incentives with short-term goals (76% of respondents)

2. Focus employees on specific goals (67%)

3. Reward employees (51%)

2013 AIP Eligibilityfor Organizations with AIPs in Place

Participants were asked to rate the effectiveness of their AIPs. More than 80% said their AIPs were moderately effective to effective, indicating organizational satisfaction with these incentive plans. (See question 9 on page 10.)

Plan elements cited most often as AIP strengths are:

AIP Strengths Performance linkage (corporate, unit, individual)

75%

Type of performance measures 74% Level of award opportunity 61% Goal-setting 56%

Plan elements cited most often as AIP weaknesses are:

AIP Weaknesses Risk-reward tradeoff 74% Level of discretion 63%

The results indicate that non-profit and government organizations largely view their AIPs as successful, particularly with regard to the performance measured, the award opportunities available to participants and how goals are set. AIP improvement opportunities exist for payouts relative to results and use of discretion. (See question 10 on page 11.)

Most non-profit and government organizations specify a maximum cash payment, or cap, in their AIPs. Similarly, most organizations specify threshold, target and maximum awards for participants. The most typical threshold level is 50% of target, while the most typical maximum payout level is 150% of target. (See questions 14 & 15 on pages 11 & 12.) Non-profit and government organizations employ a wide variety of performance measures in their AIP plans and use a number of different methods to combine the measures. The majority of companies rely on four to six performance measures. (See question 16 on page 12.)

The large number of performance measures used indicates that non-profit and government organizations try to look at performance holistically across a number of different dimensions. Organizations that use more than one measure must combine them in some way to generate an AIP award. Approaches to combining measures vary, but the majority of organizations either calculate performance separately for each measure or use a balanced-scorecard approach. (See question 18 on page 13.)

Survey participants were asked which AIP performance measures they use in three different categories: financial, operational and individual. The results show that non-profit and government organizations favor operational measures over financial measures. Among operational measures, customer satisfaction is the most widely used measure, with service/quality a close second.

For financial measures, measures of surplus/revenue over expenses are the most widely used measures. (For-profit companies call such measures profit or income, while non-profits and government organizations use terms such as surplus, revenue over expenses, and profit.) In addition, revenue and revenue growth are used by more than a third of respondents. (See question 17 on page 12.)

Financial Measures Measures of surplus, revenue over expenses, or income

Revenue/revenue growth 37% Expense management 7% Cash flow 5% Capital efficiency 4% Other financial 17%

Individual objectives are used but to a lesser degree, with more than 40% of respondents using achievement of specific goals and 28% using performance ratings as the basis for AIP awards. AIP performance targets at non-profit and government organizations typically are based on budgets, improvement over prior year, management discretion and achievement of milestones. In 2013, about two-thirds of non-profit and government organizations report that their plans use some level of subjectivity in AIP award decisions. Approximately two-thirds of the respondents with AIPs fund their plans using a pool that is established at the organization level based on financial and/or strategic goals.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVES LTI plans are scarce at non-profit and government organizations, with only 16% of organizations reporting an LTI plan. The only types of LTI plans reported were performance awards, which include long-term cash and performance units: Long-Term Cash Plan: Cash awards in which payment is contingent on performance as measured against predetermined financial or strategic objectives over a multi-year period of time (typically three years). Performance Units: Grants of dollar-dominated units with value that is contingent on performance against predetermined objectives over a multi-year period of time. Because the LTI section of the survey had fewer than 30 responses, insufficient data were available to summarize here. The detailed results are reported at the end of this document. However, data corresponding to larger sample sizes will have stronger statistical power and validity. Caution should be exercised when interpreting these data.

SUMMARY A final question in the survey asked participants to select the top three tools that organizations have found effective in retaining top talent. Interestingly, the most prevalent responses are job advancement and promotion, additional base pay, short-term incentives and flexible work arrangements. (See question 34 on page 18.)

These responses indicate that cash compensation is important, but advancement opportunities and flexible work arrangements are even more important in retaining employees at non-profit and government organizations.
